Forum rules
Please observe the following unique rules for this forum:
Please limit your new threads (not replies) to one per week. If you have several new videos to announce, create one thread for all the videos. (Note: if you forget one you can edit your post!)
Offsite links are allowed, but you are required to have a catalog entry for that video as well. Threads announcing videos that do not contain a catalog entry will be moved to the Awaiting Catalog Entry sub-forum and will be deleted in 2 weeks if an entry is not created.
When posting announcements, it is recommended that you include links to the catalog entries (using the video ID) in your post.
Videos that do not contain anime are allowed to be announced in the Other Videos section and are not required to have catalog entries.
Hey everyone! I am new to the website and was looking to get some more constructive criticizam on some of my AMV's on youtube I have been making AMV's for a long time but just recently i actually started to make some high end projects with lots of rendering and masking. I just wanted to get some pointers and advice for future projects
I've moved this to AMV Announcements, since it seems to be the most appropriate place to me.
If you're looking for more detailed opinions of your video, you should make a post in the opinion exchange. If you do post there, please offer to give your opinion on other's videos in exchange.
For both here (AMV Announcements) and Opinion Exchange, unless you're posting a work in progress in the opinion exchange, we require that you have a catalog entry here for the video. I see that you already did this for the first link you posted, but if the second one is complete too we'd appreciate the catalog entry.
Before I leave, I have one more thing. There's an easy way to link to a catalog entry here by taking the video id (the last part of the url for your video's information page) and sticking it between vidid tags like so
As for the video, it's decent. I may be a bit biased because of this other amv using the same song, but I felt that there were some missed opportunities in the song (especially around 2:35-2:49).
Sync looks to be somewhat present. I'd aim for getting every cut synced to something.
Pacing started out good but wasn't carried through the whole video. I suppose it's possible to over exaggerate the changes in pace in a song, but I haven't come across a case like that yet...so I just end up suggesting making huge contrasts in video pacing when the song calls for it. For example, 2:22-2:38 in the song is high energy, so fast paced clips (and/or cuts) work well. Then, at 2:38-2:45 it gets much softer and slower, so following suit in your clips (less movement) works well.
